Nesting finch~~help?

I have a housefinch nesting in a hanging fucsha pot right by my front door. she couldn't have picked a more busy place as the front door gets a LOT of traffic, and evey time the door opens, she flies off untill whomever is out there is gone. this worries me a bit, because I'm afraid she will neglect her babies. is this likely? what should I do about it?

I have heard of House Finches nesting in hanging baskets before but didn't hear of them abandoning their nest because of heavy traffic. IMO it is unlikely that they will, but the best thing you can do is try to keep the traffic down to a minimal.
